Awesome examples. It would be nice to get support for formats besides WAV, but that's future work. Is MP3 decoding proprietary, or just encoding?
Afaik both encoding and decoding require a license. However there is a mutual agreement from patent holders that there is no license required for FOSS decoders, allowing things like VLC to function without a license.
To expand a bit: mp3 decoding in JavaScript has been done, and it works pretty well, but not perfectly / not on all files. I've used it and stuff derived from it with quite satisfactory results in situations where I can control all of the inputs it will be used with. Adding basic support for mp3 decoding to this could be just a matter of integrating JSMad, if that's the way they felt like going about it, but adding really robust, efficient, gonna work all the time support would require a significant investment of additional effort.
I don't know what the state of the art is for mp3 encoding in JavaScript, if there is one.

This is super cool! Is HTML5 audio in a pretty decent state at this point as far as reliability?
I was thrilled when Flash had sound api quite a long time ago.
I'm now much more thrilled to see this. A lot of nerdy people will publish free open source synthesizer over the next few years.
We need javascript plugin interface like VST.

Wow, I'm seriously impressed.
I'm inspired to make a game using this library I think!

This is insanely cool.
Beautiful.
Excellent. I will definitely use this. In fact, I'm commenting largely to bookmark this.
This is what happens when your programming language does not let you specialize math operations, or you lack a decent macro system.
